Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

Had this with dinner and I thought it was really tasty!
They aren't kidding about poking those holes in it tho. I poked about three or four, and it expoded anyway!
It wasn't terrible I was able to rescue most of it!

WOW! I have never seen the inside of spaghetti squash. What is the taste like? It looks yummy, I think this time around I will actually have to try making it so I can have "spaghetti" and meatballs with my low carb tomato sauce!

Its kind of a sqash favr with a very faint sweet tast. would be good with some splenda and butter and cinnamon

That one I had last week, before I realized spaghetti sauce was chock full of sugar, had spaghetti sauce andmeatballs on it and it was awesome. Iam going to get anothr ne friday ad ake some of the chcken alfredo one, and I think the next day for lunch I will use leftovers to mae a Pesto basil sun dried tomato pasta with parmesena cheese and butter..

I know there are certain Induction-friendly squashes (summer squash?) but is Spaghetti Squash one of them? I'm so terrible with veggies.

Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

yes spaghetti squash and yellow summer squash are acceptable. its the acorn and butternut and a cpl others that aren't allowed.

It's the nature of the spaghetti squash. Try to make it NOT string.
After you get rid of the seedy insides, rake it off the rind with a fork, it will be stringy.

Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

yah after seeds are removed it is just naturally a stringy veggie its just packed in there and even before its cooked you can pick at it with a fork and see the strings.

You cut it in half and put the open end down on the pan. They come with little stickers on them that give ya cooking directions. Basically you just steam them really.

Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

I made this last night. I've never even purchased a squash before, let alone cooked one, and my cooking skills are pretty pathetic. LOL. It was incredibley easy. I picked out the darker orange strings/seeds, and then essentially the "noodles" melt right off with you touch em with a fork - so trust me, if I can do it, its easy!

Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

this looks awesome!! does anyone have a low carb marinara/tomato sauce recipe that can be used with meatballs? the low carb store bought sauces seem to cap out at 6 carbs per serving....seems like a lot!

Re: Spaghetti Squash and Cheesy Alfredo Sauce

there should be some sort of sauces on this site and at this link that are friendly to induction http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/misc_recipes.html
